Chapter 9
ALPHA JACKSON'S POV
I couldn't believe it. Elisa had the audacity to demand a divorce.noveldrama
I was filled with so many emotions - anger and confusion, as I searched for her after the ball. How dare she? I had sent her a text and she didn't even bother to respond.
My wolf was just as furious, pacing restlessly in my mind, urging me to find her and demand an explanation. I stormed back into the ballroom, scanning the faces of the remaining guests. She was nowhere to be seen.
The clock was ticking past midnight, and she still hadn't returned home. This was the first time Elisa had stayed out this late, and it disturbed me, making my blood boil. Gina stayed by my side and offered words of comfort.
"Jackson, she'll come back. She probably just needs some time to cool off," Gina said gently. This was the reason I admired Gina. Even after everything Elisa did to her, she still tried to defend her sister. Gina placed a hand on my arm, but it did little to reduce my anger.
"I don't understand why she's doing this," I said, clenching my fists. "How dare she think she can just walk away?" What got into Elisa? She never had the guts to do this before. If anyone should be demanding a divorce, it should be me. I was the Alpha. I was the one in charge.
Gina sighed. “Elisa's been through a lot, sweetie. Maybe she just needs to sort things out on her own. But don't worry, I'm here for you." We got back to the palace. Instead of resting after such a long day, I paced the living room, unable to calm the annoyance I felt.
Gina sat on one of the couches, watching me. "Jackson, please sit down. You're going to wear yourself out," she said.
"I can't just sit here, Gina! She's out there somewhere, and she's not answering her phone" Gina shrugged "Maybe she's with someone else"
I stopped in my tracks and looked at her. "What the hell did you say?" I asked her.
"I'm just saying. I mean, think about it. Why else would she ask for a divorce? Maybe she's with another man" I thought about it. The more I did, the more my blood boiled inside me.
The thought of Elisa with another man made me annoyed. It made my wolf want to come out of my cage. She wouldn't dare. Or would she? Elisa was mine. If I found out she was with another man, I'd.... Wait... Why do I care? I could care less if she lived or not. Right?
The hours went by and still, Elisa had not returned. It was already late, and I couldn't help but wonder where she was and what she was doing Feelings of jealousy began to creep into my mind but I quickly shook them off. I convinced myself that I didn't care.
After all, I had no real feelings for Elisa.
Gina was a far better option. She was here, supporting me, unlike Elisa who seemed to be far away.
"Maybe you should just move on," Gina suggested "Elisa doesn't seem to appreciate you. You deserve someone who does." I looked at Gina. Her words played over and over in my mind.
She was right. Elisa had the audacity to divorce me. Maybe it was time to let her go. Gina was always there for me, understanding and supportive. I had always liked Gina anyway. I never liked Elisa one bit. I was only with her because of our roles as royals in the pack.
"You're right," said "Maybe I should just move on. Elisa clearly doesn't care." Gina smiled at me "Why don't you go to the Lycan King tomorrow and make the first move? Tell him about the divorce. It'll show Elisa that you're serious and that you're not waiting around for her."
I hesitated, but Gina's suggestion made sense. Taking control of the situation would put me in a position of strength. I would show Elisa that she was making a big mistake. Elisa probably didn't want a divorce. She was just looking for attention. She wouldn't get it. I would make sure that by the time I was done with her, she would be the one begging.
"Yeah, I'll do that," I agreed. "I'll visit the king tomorrow." Gina got up and wrapped her arms around my shoulder.
"Good. It's the right thing to do." she said. My mind was now focused on the plan. Tomorrow, I would go to the Lycan King and inform him about the divorce. I would show Elisa that I was not to be played with. She couldn't just walk out on me without consequences.
I was the king of this pack and I
deserved some respect. I looked into Gina's beautiful brown eyes. She was one of the most gorgeous women I had seen. She was right there with me, and maybe, just maybe, she was the one I should have been with all along. Suddenly, the front door opened. I turned, and there she was-Elisa. I became angry at the sight of her. "Where have you been?!" I demanded.
Elisa looked like she couldn't be bothered "I'm not going to be Luna soon, so I don't have to report to you." Her words hit me like a slap. How dare she speak to me like that? I clenched my fists in annoyance, barely containing my rage.
"Or really? !" I snapped. "You'll sleep in the maiden's room tonight!" Elisa's eyes widened in disbelief. I could see the hurt on her face.
"You would humiliate me like this?" she whispered. "You left me no choice," I retorted Gina held my arm softly
"Jackson, please. Let's not make this worse," Elisa turned away and walked to the stairs without another word. I watched her go.
How could she do this to me? To us? Gina gently led me to the couch and stayed beside me.
"You did the right thing, Jackson. She needs to understand the consequences of her actions," she murmured.
"Right, I'll talk to the Lycan King tomorrow. This needs to be resolved." I said firmly.
